| LOWER WATERWAY |

Leon and I made our way back to where we were when we finished off three zombies and where we had noticed the blue door. We jumped down back into the water where the gate was open and made our way down to the other door - once we were nearly there another one of those creatures came out from one of the holes in the wall - we took care of it soon enough and began twisting the door upwards.

| WORKROOM LIFT |

Once we were in there were a few shotgun shells and some flame rounds laying on a barrel in the room, we grabbed them and stood on the strange elevator. Leon hit the button and it sent us upwards.

| WORKROOM |

Once it stopped, we stepped off and into a new small room. There was a zombie laying on the floor, I shot at it with my shotgun and that was the end. Leon unlocked the door which lead us back to where we were earlier before. "Hey, V this whole place connects." He ushered me to come over to which I complied. Walking through the door I looked around and he was right - we were where we had been earlier. I noticed the door that was locked earlier - it had the same symbol as the keys I shoved in my pocket earlier. I walked over and opened it with the key, in the room there were just a few things to make some ammo out of to which I gave to Leon. In the other room, it looked like it led back to the RPD - we strayed away from that one since we had no need to go back. Leon grabbed the chess piece from the mechanical part and we headed back down.

| LOWERWATER WAY |

Once we made it back, we hopped up on the floor and started walking back up to where the cable car was and back to where the chess puzzle was.

| MONITOR ROOM |

Since we had all the pieces to the puzzle, we began trying to figure it out. On the left wall we had placed the pieces from left to right as Bishop, Rook, and the Knight. On the right side of the wall from left to right we placed the King, Queen, and the Pawn. Once we placed the last one into its rightful slot, the door unlocked and slid open for us. "Yes! Ada here we come!" I cheered.
We walked through the door and down to the garbage door, "No power..fuck." Leon had tried to open the door but as he said, there was no power.

| MAIN POWER ROOM |

Leon and I walked into the power room to flick the switch for the power. Once we got it turned on, we both walked towards the door - though once we reached it a gigantic creatures arm busted through the ceiling and clawed at us both. I fell to floor in pain from the three big scratches on my shoulder that was now bleeding and causing me pain. "Holy FUCK!" I cried out, Leon rushed down to aid me, "Shit, I don't have anything besides a wrap." He tried his best to stop the bleeding, but seconds later the creature shoved its hand back through another part of the ceiling. Leon had to duck in order not to get his head clipped off. "Fuck Leon get down on the ground!" I urged him, my shoulder would have to wait because this mother fucker was now trying to rip the metal shudder off to get into the room. "Once it comes in, get ready to run." I nodded to Leon, we both stood up.

| PROPOSED WATER PURIFICATION ROOM |

As soon as the creature ripped the shudder off we immediately rushed past it and down to the platform. It looked as though there was a gigantic crane, "Hey Leon! Maybe we can knock it off with this!" I hit the red button, sending the crane around. "Good idea! We just have to get this motherfucker on his knees!"
Leon and I worked on damaging the creature enough for him to drop, as soon as it did Leon called out for me, "DO IT NOW!" My fist slammed down onto the button, bringing the crane back around slowly. As the creature was beginning to get up, the crane hit it. It struggled to stay up on the floor with us, but the crane pushed it off into the darkness below. The damage ended up leaving a way for us to get back to where we were and through a door back to the garbage room. "Let's hope that's the last of him." Leon spoke to me, "We can only pray." I sighed, it had been raining on the platform we were on so me and Leon were drenched, I almost threw up from the smell of both of us, but I tried my best to not.
Leon opened the door to the garbage room and we rushed over to aid Ada.

| GARBAGE ROOM |

"ADA?" Leon called out, "OVER HERE!" We heard a voice coming from inside the room, rushing over we saw Ada sitting up, though unable to move due to the piece of metal sticking out from her thigh. "Ada.." I whispered, "We were getting worried." I spoke up for Leon since it seemed as though he didn't know what to say from seeing her hurt.
Leon dropped down on his knees next to Ada, "I can't get it out." She spoke, motioning to the rod in her thigh. "I-I don't know if I should, uh.." Leon stumbled on his words, his hands surrounding the rod but not touching it. "Just do it. I can't walk like this." She sighed, shaking her head. "Ok. It's going to hurt." He huffed and began pulling the metal out of her leg, she writhed in pain, holding onto her thigh as tight as she could while he pulled.
Eventually he got it out and threw it somewhere in the room - you wouldn't be able to find the piece amongst the garbage now. "Hold on.." Leon reached for the bandage he was going to use earlier to patch up my shoulder - which I had completely forgotten about until now. I wasn't even in any pain but, my heart sank a bit seeing how he reacted towards her being in pain, it was like he was begging to take care of her, like they were the only two in the room - he had done everything by himself to get to here.
I walked out of the room and decided to wait for the two of them to finish, neither of them noticed I had left because I hadn't heard a single word about me.
"I can do it myself." Ada held out her hand when Leon was about to push the bandage onto her wound, "Just..relax, ok?" I could hear this man rolling his eyes through his words. Although my mood was shitty, it made me let out a light chuckle, I could hear Ada seething from the pain she was in. Even though I was hurt right now, it still made me uncomfortable knowing someone was hurt. But Leon was doing a good job at helping her without needing me. "So..what do we all do now?" I heard Leon say, I decided to walk back in and seen him now wrapping her leg up with a bandage. Ada looked at him, "Get yourself out of here. While you still can." Once again, it was like I wasn't in there - the two were so close I thought they were going to kiss. Leon backed up once he finished wrapping her leg, "I'm not just going to leave you. Not like this." His head motioned to her leg, "You don't understand. The situations worse than I thought." Ada shook her head at him while she spoke, "You're not getting rid of us that easily." Leon flashed her a smile and turned his head to look for me, once he saw me his smile was even wider. My heart fluttered with the sight of how he looked at me. "You protected us. Now it's our turn to protect you." "Didn't realize we were keeping score." She chuckled, shaking her head at him again.
Leon offered his hand to her, grabbing it he helped her stand up. Though she didn't want any help walking "Grab my shoulder." "..Don't push it Rookie." She rolled her eyes, he let her hand go and the two of them started walking over to me. "Ok. Just trying to help." He mumbled, making me chuckle again. "What's so funny huh?" He raised a brow at me while I just stood there smiling ear to ear like a big fat idiot. "Oh nothing. Now let's get out of here."
